Life of the Homeless

We are still trying to figure out life right now and are basically homeless! So we are grateful for family to let us stay with them. We stayed at the Hollberg’s for a week, but then decided to head down to STG and try to figure out life there! My best friend Cachet had her baby boy Nash! He is super cute and has lots of dark hair!Lyndon took me on a motorcycle ride around Bountiful, up by the temple and such! It was a beautiful ride and we saw some amazing houses!

 And another flood hit in Santa Clara. We helped clean out one of the houses! So sad and it was so destructive! 60 homes were affected! But there were so many folks there helping and doing a lot for these people! There are still MANY great and loving people in this world!

It was Cody’s farewell weekend! Oh man. The Parry siblings all went to Lake Powell, so we were supposed to just get the house clean for the open house. Well we forgot to let the house cleaners in – so it became a nightmare trying to get everything ready! But we did it! There were lots of supportive family members, friends, neighbors, coaches there for Cody! I am so excited for him. His talk was awesome and had us all laughing and crying (and the ward now calls us the Farting family). I still love our tradition of all sleeping in the TV room together. Who needs beds seriously? I went through all my clothes – gave more than ½ away! Quite proud!

Connor had his homecoming football game. Its been so fun to see the brothers play! Since I have been in Hawaii the last few years I’ve missed a lot. Dylan played Hurricane in double overtime and won! And we even got to see Wyatt play too!

Painted the garage floor!  Go see our hard work! And then came the drive to Fresno….. Lyndon started working at an accounting firm, and I’m working on pa applications. I have a couple interviews coming up and hope something will work out! Here are some pictures from our 8 hour drive!

Back to Utah!

Well who wouldn’t want to travel across the country and then do 12 loads of laundry to get the smoke smell out of your clothes, and find out that a bottle of bleach spilled and ruined your shirts and some of your pants??!!! What a great thing to come home to! And then leave and get back in the car again to head to Provo for the BYU opening “whiteout” game! Yes, that would be us. We love driving and driving and driving! Lyndon sat with his cousins and I was with my family! It was fun to be there!! Lyndon came up in the 4^th quarter and learned his uncle sits right behind us! Parker and Sterling were on espn! After we drove up to Park City!!

 The next morning was some needed working out and then we went to lunch with Bev and shopping for some pants for Lyndon (Thanks to the bleach that spilt, too bad none of my clothes were ruined!) Went up to Olympic park and watched the ski jumpers practice.

Met up with my family to try to do the alpine slide, but it was rainy and they didn’t open it. So Dylan and Wyatt did the tramp jumping thing!

That night Connor played football against Park City High School! He did great and they won!! Lots of family came up for that and it was fun to watch Connor. The boys picked plenty of grass during the game to entertain themselves!

The weekend was fun! We went up to the Bradley party at Jim and Shawna’s! Hungout with family, went on a hike, and chased the cows! It’d be 3 years since I’ve seen cousin Dallin! Wow! Its never good enough to just see one side of the family right…well after that we met up with Lyndon’s family to see the movie “Premium Rush.” It was pretty intense! We all enjoyed it, and then came the drive back up to Park City.

Church in Park City was different. It was basically a huge ward of all visitors, but I love that the church is true where ever you are, so it doesn’t even matter! Then we went to Park Silly Sunday with the Hansen’s. It was fun to walk around and see all the little booths, we then had a Big bbq dinner and played games ‘til late into the night!

Labor Day!!  Tennis ball run down main street! We met up with Chance (Lyndons buddy) and went shopping, my secret confession is that now the only clothes I buy are workout clothes. The alpine slide line was over 2 hours long so we said no way!! We then got ready for some family pictures!! I love the Hansen’s they are awesome! But it was fun trying to get Truman to look at the camera and smile!

Fun things in the windows at Park City!

Lyndon had an interview at lunch, and I worked on pa app essays. We wanted to see the  new downtown area of SLC so we drove down and Lyndon tried on some Rolex watches and Porsche shoes (maybe one day!) Dinner was at Olive Garden – and we still continue to celebrate our anniversary. Lyndon is not one to miss an opportunity to celebrate anything!!

They would probably help Lyndon drive extra fast! 

Did alpine slide and coaster with Tim and Bev!

Got to see cousin Lexi and her cute little apartment! And I bought the “Touch of the Master’s Hand” picture! One day I’ll have a house to put it in! Friday morning Lyndon and I went on a run outside, don’t worry we just got put to shame by the altitude and hills! After we recuperated we went down to Provo and met up with Brad and Doug, and ran into Dallin & Aaron (so glad we got to see these cousins!) And we ended the night at Lyndon’s cousin Greg’s wedding reception complete with dancing and lots of good fudge!

I was able to complete a CPR class at the U. Don’t worry I wore a BYU shirt so I didn’t stand out at all! But we got to hangout with Whitney, Tyler and Truman all day! Lyndon to experience his first asphalt pie!! And I fed Truman the whip cream!

We went to church with Whit and Ty and it was their regional conference at the conference center. We learned to dress modestly, get more out of reading your scriptures, and work hard at loving your spouse!
